A Moveable Feast

By Elle
I internet searched the history of this day the Church celebrates so solemnly..

From Lauda Sion, St. Thomas Aquinas

Thousands are as one, receivers, One, as thousands of believers

I internet searched the history of this day the Church celebrates so solemnly: The Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus or Corpus Christi.  What appeared first was Wikipedia. The description is noted as a "moveable feast"!  What is a moveable feast? Sounds like fun to me and it sounds like I need to go grocery shopping! You can read for yourselves that description, but I like mine, which is this: Be moved today, spiritually moved, by the Gift of Himself that Jesus has given us.  Take some time and just be still and know that He is near. 

 

Once I got my head out of the grocery list, I searched my favorite "go to" saint, Thomas Aquinas, and found what I was looking for. By coincidence, (God-incidence) turns out that Thomas Aquinas wrote the liturgy and for this feast back in 1264 when Pope Urban IV added this to the Church's calendar.  Please check the "sequence" (poem) from which is quoted, and which you can find on the daily readings link that is on our site.  It is a beautiful poem by St Thomas Aquinas and I cannot possibly add anything in this reflection except to say I will pray for you on this most moveable feast.
